More DescriptionThis book presents Christian Ministry from a specialized point of view with regards to the NewTestament Biblical teachings on the concept, formation and institutionalization of the Christianchurch from its universal spectrum as initiated by our Lord Jesus Christ that was also practicedby the early Apostles and Church Fathers.It seeks to give a general redress on the basic truths that seems to be liberalized or hijacked fromits principal subjective and as well its objective undertone at which the Church is built upon-withJesus Christ as the Master Builder, through which all the branches receives its sustenance andform-as the scripture alludes: "....For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some ofyour own poets have said, 'We are His offspring." (Acts 17:28, NIV). It attempts to re-invigoratethe ministers of the gospel, and as well all the Christian leaders or church work force withtimeless truths that can make them raise up to the challenges of their divers and respectivecallings in Christ Jesus with an empirical connotations as it affects and reflects the realities ofglobalization in the 21ist Century. It also avails all populous children of God with necessaryinformation that also serves as a guide-post towards leading an excellent, fruitful, profitable andenviable life amidst the overwhelming and continual blast of evil before our very eyes, and thusprovides us with good examples that also encourages us to persevere in our quest to remaining asshinning lights in this aging and decaying world, and to reposition men and women tocontributing their quotas in making sure that we all make that transition unto glory in grandeur,as St. Paul could say in his last days: "Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness,which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but alsoto all who have longed for his appearing." (2 Tim. 4:8, NIV).
